Hi,

I have a function that opens a popup

<SCRIPT>
function newwindow1(theUrl) {
window.open(theUrl, 'jav', 'width=640,height=320,resizable=no,scrollbars=auto');
}
</SCRIPT>

And a series of hyperlinks in a table that call it that pass a value to theURL

eg <a href="meetingframe.asp?StartTime=08:00:00&RoomID=2&ViewingDate=01/02/2006" title="Room 2 at 08:00 hrs" onclick="newwindow1(this.href);return false;">

I am trying to make to make it so that when the page loads if a meeting has been specified by a hyperlink the popup appears instantly. So far I have tried

<body vlink="blue" alink="blue" onLoad='newwindow1('meetingframe.asp?MeetingID=132');return false;'>

but no popup appears.

Any ideas?

Thanks very much

I don't follow.

... but I would rethink the [red]red[/red] single quotes below, as they are now, they will probably cause funky delimitting problems.
[tt]onLoad=[red]'[/red]newwindow1('meetingframe.asp?MeetingID=132');return false;[red]'[/red][/tt]

Huh? Hyperlinks don't "specify meetings" - they link to other pages.

Also, as Sheco points out, your nested single quotes are erroneous, and will be causing code to break.

Hi,

Having re-read my posting it does look a bit vague! By specifying a meeting with a hyperlink I mean using a ? at the end of the URL to pass a value to another page:


The idea is that by clicking on the link it shows one page then a popup window automatically appears with details of that particular meeting.

Apologies for the confusion - in the end I swapped the end quotes for " which did the trick so thanks very much.

cheers

emozley,

If you are just simply wanting to have a pop-up display when you open the browser. All you need to do is change the following part of your code:

From

<body vlink="blue" alink="blue" onLoad='newwindow1('meetingframe.asp?MeetingID=132');
return false;'>

TO

<body vlink="blue" alink="blue" onLoad="newwindow1('meetingframe.asp?MeetingID=132');
return false;">

You can't have single quotations nested within themselves. But you can have single quotations nested in double quotations. When I changed this, each time I opened the page a pop-up window opened.

I hope this helps,

John
